Related: About this forumMurphy, DWS, Soto...Florida Dems just voted to stop disagreeing with Republicans on anything.
Apparently, there aren't any progressives in the state at all anymore. What the hell, guys? Why did so many of you vote to make the November ballot meaningless?
From what I can see, there were no Dem primary results at all in your state that weren't an absolute tragedy.

for the progressives. It has happened time and time again here in Fl. The banning brigade is out and about so this post may be removed just like my last one was.

Until the vote is verified by automatic audits (and when the audits show the strong possibility of malicious programming rigging the whole vote is recounted BY HAND) or the vote is counted by hand to begin with by human beings will I believe the results, especially in a state like FL.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A DEMOCRACY WHEN THE VOTE IS COUNTED IN TOTAL SECRECY WITHOUT VERIFICATION.

(8,376 posts)My choice was not between Murphy and Grayson but between Murphy/Rubio and Grayson/Rubio. Very easy choice. If the same group of candidates were running for a Senate seat in California my choice would have been different.
More progressive candidates did ok in state legislature races.
